Bluewater
Windshields
The Bluewater line of curved windshields provides
the boat designer the ability to create unique boat styles
which are critically important in today’s marketplace.
Every windshield is custom designed to fit the customer’s
deck, satisfying even the most difficult requirements.
Unlike standard windshields, an American Marine custom
windshield will enhance and complement the styling and
functionality of the boat, setting it apart from the others.
Existing boat models can be more economically converted
to curved windshields using the custom windshield
approach rather than retooling the deck to fit a standard
windshield.
The framing system of the American Marine curved windshield is fully welded, which
provides strength and durability not found in mechanically framed windshields. This
construction technique allows for the use of front opening vents or side wing vents not
available in many curved windshields. Boats designed for use in temperate climates can
thus have the advantage of opening vents to increase cockpit air flow.
Wing Vent with
T-Handle Latch
There are many windshield options to choose from . . . .
GLAZING
All welded windshield frames will accept either 3/16” or 1/4”
thick glass. Large or forward-facing sections are glazed with
1/4” glass, while smaller sections utilize 3/16”. In addition to
the standard tempered safety glass, acrylic may be specified.
Curved sections are typically glazed with acrylics. Optional bent
tempered safety glass may be specified for frames of constant
radius.
DECK ATTACHMENT
Curved windshields incorporate a screw channel in the sill,
providing for fast and secure mounting from above the deck
with screws. The channels are then closed with a vinyl cover to
protect the fasteners and provide a finished look.
WIRE CHANNELS
American Marine has several optional headers which incorporate
a wire channel for use in routing wires across the top of the frame
to wiper motors and running lights. Wire channels can also be
placed in the vertical posts for best wire feed location from below
the deck. These channels are closed with a flush vinyl cover
providing a neat finished look to the installation.
OPENING VENTS
Top hinged opening front vents or push-out side vents are
available in both the curved and the conventional windshield
lines. Vents may be actuated with manual adjusters or with an
electric actuator.
HANDRAILS
Solid 1” diameter aluminum handrails may be attached to the top
of the wings to provide a secure handhold when moving about the
boat. When long wings are required, handrails also improve wing
stiffness. Handrails are normally mounted on the outside of the
wing, but may also be mounted inside as cockpit hand-grabs.

Bluewater
Windshields
The conventional Bluewater welded windshield is
appropriate for traditional boats requiring economical
protection from wind and water. This line of custom
designed windshields provides great adaptability to
deck configurations which exhibit crown, camber or
pitch in the side coaming. The aluminum extrusions
utilized in the frames are generally heavier than most
and are fully welded in the corners to provide great
strength and durability, which means greater value
to both the boat builder and the boat owner.
The standard 3/4” thick American Marine framing
system is supported by several types of headbars,
sills, posts, hinges and mullions to satisfy every possible design
requirement. Opening front vents, push-out side vents, handrails,
and wire channels are available.
The American Marine windshield framing system is exceptionally
versatile. Some of the many designs found in use today include
3 section center console windshields with handrails, 4 section
cockpit and cuddy cabin windshields, 5 section windshields with
center front vents, and multi-section flybridge windscreens for
larger yachts. The possibilities are limited only by the designer’s
imagination.

Trident
Windshields
The Trident windshield has been designed and
engineered for larger express-style, open cockpit
boats with typical lengths in excess of 40
feet. The heavy-duty 1 ¼” framing system
provides the strength required of large
windshields to endure higher loads
encountered in offshore conditions.
The fully welded Trident
windshield frame provides
extraordinary strength
and durability under the
most stressful conditions.
Where smaller framed windshields
will bend and vibrate, the Trident will remain
stiff and strong. It is the combination of fully welded
construction and larger framing which provides the
safety and durability sought by today’s boat owner.
GLAZING
The Trident framing system supports the use of 3/16”, 1/4” or
3/8” tempered safety glass. For most requirements, 1/4” glazing
is appropriate. In addition to tempered safety glass, acrylics are
frequently used in the curved sections of the windshield.
VENTS
The use of hinged opening vents in both the front frames and
the wings afford constant natural air circulation in the cockpit at
the dock or underway. Heavy gasket seals prevent water leakage
through the windshield. Front vents are normally operated with
electric actuators. Wing vents are equipped with sturdy T-handle
latches to open and dog the vent closed.
DECK ATTACHMENT
The windshield sills incorporate a screw channel for easy screw
attachment to the deck. After mounting, the channels are closed
with a vinyl cover to hide the screws and provide a finished
look.
WIRE CHANNELS
Integral within the windshield
frame are wire channels used
to route wires and hoses to
wiper motors, lights, spray
nozzles, etc. A flush vinyl
cover closes the channels
after installation, providing a
finished look to the frames.
HANDRAILS
Stylish braces assure windshield
strength and rigidity
Solid 1” diameter aluminum handrails can be attached to the tops
of the wings for safety and convenience when moving about the
boat. Handrails mounted inside the windshield may provide a
welcome handhold underway.
Dual T-handle wing vent
latches firmly hold the
vent in open and closed
positions
Electric actuated vents allow for air circulation in the cockpit

Guide to Window Products and Options
American Marine offers both surface mounted and clamp-ring mounted windows for the marine industry. These solid aluminum
windows are manufactured using all welded construction. The surface mounted windows have exterior flanges which allow for either
direct bonding to the mounting surface with adhesives, or screw mounting with screws driven through holes in the flanges into the
mounting surface. The clamp-ring mounted windows are installed by clamping the bulkhead between the window flange and a clamp
ring inside the boat. The window corners may be either mitered (angular) or radiused (round). Trim rings and screens are available
as an option. Refer to the chart below for full details.
Mariner Series
(Surface Mount)
The Mariner Series is a full line of windows which includes fixed, vented and 2-track sliding windows, both horizontal and
vertical. The heavy framing in this line of windows has a 1” wide mounting flange, and can be glazed with either 3/16”, 1/4”
or 3/8” (in fixed windows only) glass. They may be supplied with or without trim rings. These windows are suitable for use
on recreational yachts and workboats up to and well over 100 feet in length.
Yachtsman Series
(Clamp-ring Mount)
The Yachtsman Series windows provide for clamp-ring mounting, eliminating screws on the exterior of the boat. This line
of windows includes fixed, vented and 2-track sliding windows, both horizontal and vertical. The framing allows for 3/16”,
1/4” and 3/8” glass in the fixed and vented windows, and 1/4” in the sliding windows. This series of windows is appropriate
for all sizes of boats, both recreational and commercial.

Finish and Glazing
A variety of finishes and glazing options are available for windshields and windows. Refer to page 22 for complete details
on the choices available. Note that all window styles offer the ability to field replace the glass without removing the frames
from the boat.
Window Shapes
The window shape possibilities are almost infinite. Page 13 shows most of the common shapes and indicates how to
dimension them for pricing or ordering.

Mariner
Fixed Windows
Series
(Surface Mount)
The fixed window configuration provides a strong, leak-proof
window for use in all but the most demanding conditions.
Glazings up to 3/8” thickness assure high breaking strength. The
unusually thick frame is designed for exterior mounting with
fasteners through holes provided in the wide mounting flange, or
can be mounted with structural adhesives rather than fasteners.
Optional interior trim rings are described below.
GLAZING
The fixed window frames are designed to accept
3/16”, 1/4” or 3/8” thick glass. 3/16” glass is
recommended for use only in smaller windows,
with ¼” glass being used in larger windows and
in all windows facing forward. For vessels subject
to severe weather conditions, 3/8” glazing should
be specified.
For more information Finish - page 22
Glass Tint - page 22
Design Considerations - page 13
The standard glazing material is tempered safety glass. As an
option, windows may also be glazed with laminated safety glass
or acrylic. In addition to clear glass, various tints may be chosen,
including green, bronze, gray, or dark gray.
TRIM RINGS (Optional)
Aluminum trim rings provide a finished interior look, and can
serve as a backing plate for through-bolting. Trim rings are
furnished with a spigot depth to match the wall thickness, or
can be made flat (without a spigot) for use with thin walls. The
mounting holes in the trim ring can be aligned with the window
frame mounting holes, or can be offset. Aligned holes are used
with through-bolted installations, while the offset holes allow
finishing screws to be driven from both sides of the bulkhead.
Refer to the drawing above.

Mariner
Vented Windows
Series
(Surface Mount)
The Mariner top hinged full opening windows provide excellent ventilation,
as well as improved visibility in the open position. Dual aluminum extension
arm adjusters with lever handle locking knobs control and support the vent
in the open position. When closed, the vent is firmly dogged into the frame
with two handgrip style latches located at the bottom or on the side of the
vent.
Integral hinge allows for easy
removal of vent for service
The Mariner series mitered corner style window incorporates
an integral hinge at the top which locks firmly into the frame,
yet provides for easy removal of the vent for inspection and
cleaning. The watertight seals are easily replaced when
worn. The maximum opening of the vent is approximately
50 degrees from the closed position.
In the Mariner series radiused corner style window, external
aluminum hinges are fastened to the frame and the opening
vent, and utilize a delrin hinge pin for a non-corrosive
assembly. These external hinges allow the vent to open to an
angle of 80 degrees. However, if opening angles in excess of
80 degrees are required, hatch-adjuster type extender arms
are used in place of the standard vent adjusters.
The opening vent size should not exceed 28” in height or
48” in width to prevent undue strain on the adjuster arms.
Windows which are larger than this recommended maximum
can be realized with a combination style window, using an
upper (or lower) opening section combined with a fixed
section.
Mitered Corner
Opening Window
If obstructions inside the boat immediately behind the
window frame do not allow sufficient clearance for
operating the vent adjuster or dogs, an upper opening vent
with lower fixed section would be indicated. For service
in predominately wet weather or heavy sea conditions, an
upper fixed section with a vented lower section would be
appropriate.

Mariner
Side-Sliding Windows
Series
(Surface Mount)
Horizontal and vertical sliding windows are especially
useful where opening windows are desired for
ventilation, and the mounting surface is vertical
(or nearly so). They are easy to operate, and are
weathertight when closed. Side-sliding windows can
be furnished in a large range of sizes from less than 2
feet to 10 or more feet in length. They are available in
both mitered and radiused corner styles.
WEATHER-TIGHT DESIGN
The Mariner series utilizes a Wedge-Lock glass divider designed
to increase weather-tightness. In the closed position, the dividers
interlock with each other forming a seal which prevents water
intrusion under all but the most extreme conditions. An external
silicone gasket is utilized to neutralize the effects of water pressure
in stormy conditions or during washdowns. In addition, the high
dam on the inside face of the sill diverts water out through drain
slots on the outer face of the window.
The Mariner series of sliding windows are typically used as
pilothouse, galley, salon, and aft bulkhead windows in vessels
of all sizes. The heavy extrusions used in this series of windows
make them appropriate for larger windows on commercial vessels.
Glazing is of 1/4” thick glass.
SCREENS (Optional)
For Vertical Sliders see Page 12
Screens are framed with solid
aluminum extrusions insuring
extraordinary strength and
durability. They have the
same finish as the window,
and are screened with black
nylon fabric. The screen can be
mounted internally or externally.
In horizontal sliders, the most
common mounting is in the
outer track just aft of the forward
glass.
LATCH and STOP
On the Mariner series, the inner glass slider
is fitted with a clamshell latch which firmly
locks the sliders in the closed position, and
is used as a pull to open the slider. Once
in position, a slider stop below the latch is
depressed to hold the slider firmly in a fixed
open position, preventing movement while
underway.

Yachtsman
Fixed & Vented Windows
(Clamp-ring Mount)
The Yachtsman series of fully welded windows
provides clamp ring mounting, eliminating the need for
screws outside of the boat. The appearance is pleasing
to the eye, and the internal fasteners are out of the
weather which reduces the potential for corrosion. The
Yachtsman series is appropriate for the finest yachts
as well as commercial and recreational boats. This line
of windows is available in fixed, vented and sliding
styles.
VENT HINGE
The vent hinge is hidden within the frame
to produce a flush outer surface. A 3/16”
delrin hinge pin is used for strength
without the potential for corrosion in the
salt environment.
VENT ADJUSTER
Vented windows are supported in the
open position by two extension arm
vent adjusters. A lever handle is used
to lock the vent in any desired open
position. Vents normally open to 80
degrees, but may be less in smaller
windows. When closed, the vent is
dogged firmly into the frame with two
ergonomically designed latches.
GLAZING
The Yachtsman series fixed and
vented windows are designed to
accept 3/16”, 1/4” or 3/8” thick glass.
For normal service, 1/4” glass is
recommended. In addition to clear
glass, various tints are available. Refer
to page 22 for information.
BULKHEAD THICKNESS
To accommodate various bulkhead
thicknesses, five clamp rings are
available to clamp thickness from 1/4”
to 2 1/8”. Each clamp ring covers a
range of 3/8”.

Yachtsman
Side-Sliding Windows
Series
(Clamp-ring Mount)
The Yachtsman series side-sliding window provides
maximum ventilation for pilothouses, galleys, salons,
and other enclosed spaces where vented windows are
not appropriate. Sliding windows are weather-tight,
easy to operate and positive locking. They can be
furnished in a large range of sizes from less than 2 feet
to 10 or more feet in length. The Yachtsman Series
side-slider is only glazed with 1/4” glass.
LATCH and STOP
The inner glass slider is fitted with
a clamshell latch which firmly
locks the two sliders closed, and
is used as a pull to slider. Once
in position, a slider stop below
the latch is depressed to hold
the slider firmly in a fixed open
position, preventing movement
while underway.
WEATHER-TIGHT DESIGN
The Yachtsman series utilizes our Wedge-Lock divider, designed
to increase weather-tightness. In the closed position, the dividers
on each glass slider interlock with each other forming a barrier
which prevents water intrusion under all but the most extreme
conditions. An external silicone gasket is utilized to neutralize
the effects of water pressure in stormy conditions or during
washdowns. In addition, the high dam on the inside face of the
sill diverts water out through drain slots on the outer face of the
window.
SCREENS (Optional)
Screens are made of solid aluminum extrusions insuring extraordinary strength and
durability. They have the same finish as the window, and are screened with black
nylon fabric. The screen can be mounted internally or externally. In horizontal
sliders, the most common mounting is in the outer track with a non-sliding glass.
Alternatively, the screen may be mounted internally such that both glass sliders
will slide.
THE CLAMP RING
The easy-to-install clamp ring is fitted to the backside of the window on
the inside of the boat. Screws are inserted through holes provided in the
ring, thereby “clamping” the window into the bulkhead. To finish the
installation, a vinyl cover is inserted in the clamp ring, hiding the screws
and providing a finished look to the window.
CUT-OUT RADIUS
The Yachtsman series radiused corner windows require a cutout radius
of 3 3/8”.

Vertical-Sliding Windows
Yachtsman
Series
(Clamp-ring Mount)
and
The Mariner series or Yachtsman series vertical sliding
windows are the choice when ventilation is required in narrow
spaces, and the mounting surface is vertical (or nearly so). Vertical
sliding windows are typically used in pilothouses, doors, aft
bulkheads and galleys. They are easy to operate and lock firmly
in the open position. The heavy extrusions in these windows make
them appropriate for both recreational and commercial vessels.
Mariner
Series
(Surface Mount)
Vertical sliding windows are provided in two versions: (1) the
lower glass slider lifts or (2) the upper glass slider drops. Latches
on either side firmly stop the slider in the open position and lock
the slider when closed. These windows are limited to 36” in width.
The glass thickness is 1/4”, and are available in both radiused
and mitered corners.
WEATHER-TIGHT
DESIGN
Vertical Lift Slide
Latch with Handle
Vertical sliders incorporate the
Wedge-Lock glass divider. These
dividers interlock when the window
is closed forming a seal which
prevents water intrusion in all but
the severest weather conditions.
An integral silicone gasket further
closes the gap between the sliders
to provide additional weathertightness. In addition, the high dam
on the inside face of the sill diverts
water out through drain slots on the
outer face of the window.
Mariner Vertical
Drop Slider

SLIDE LATCHES
The vertical lift slider is conveniently lifted with handles
mounted to the Wedge-Lock glass divider. It is held in the
open position by two slide latches within the divider. These
spring-loaded slide latches penetrate into detents in the
window frame, thereby anchoring the slider in a fixed open
position. The detents are spaced every 3/4” for maximum
adjustability.
The vertical drop slider utilizes the same slide latch mechanism
which is mounted in a latch block near the top of the window.
The block also serves as a hand-hold for lifting the slider.

WINDOW DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
windows, the vents normally open to 80 degrees, but may
open less in smaller windows.
IN GENERAL
•
All windows are designed to be mounted on flat surfaces
only.
•
Horizontal sliding windows require the top and bottom
frames to be parallel. Vertically sliding windows require the
vertical sides to be parallel.
•
The hinges on all vented windows must be inline in order
to rotate. Hence, vented windows can only be provided for
mounting on a flat surface.
•
A variety of bedding materials are commonly used during
installation. Use of a good quality polyurethane adhesive/
sealant or a polysulfide sealant is recommended.
Mariner Series Windows
•
•
If the wall mounting surface has a slight curve, the window
frame must be bent to match that curve during fabrication.
There is a limit to the amount of curve which can be bent into
the frames, and the glazing may require the use of acrylic
lites to accommodate the bend.
No mounting holes are drilled in the window frames if the
windows are to be bonded to the surface with an adhesive. If
screws are to be used to secure the window to the bulkhead,
mounting holes are drilled and counter-sunk for #10 oval
head screws.
•
Trim ring mounting holes are drilled in locations offset from
the holes in the window frame. Holes are sized for #8 screws.
If through-bolting is specified, the holes are sized for #10
screws and are drilled in line with the holes in the window
frame.
•
Custom arcs and corner bends in window frames may require
stretch-forming on a bending die. If the required radius is
not available on standard in-house dies, a custom die must
be built at additional cost.
•
The vent in all mitered corner opening windows will open
to about 50 degrees maximum. In radiused corner opening
•
For radiused cornered windows, the cut-out radius is 3". If
trim rings are provided, the cut-out radius is 3 1/4".
Yachtsman Series Windows
•
Yachtsman clamp ring windows must be mounted on flat
surfaces. The windows will not tolerate any camber or
warp.
•
The vent in the opening window will normally open to 80
degrees, but may open less in smaller windows.
•
The bulkhead cut-out must be specified very accurately
because the window flange capture is approximately 9/16"
wide.
•
The corner cut-out radius is 3 3/8". Cut the radius accurately
to assure adequate bulkhead capture between the window
flange and clamp-ring.
•
Measure and specify the bulkhead thickness so that the
window can be provided with the proper clamp-ring for that
thickness.

Companionway Door
Model 320 (Single Panel Hatch) - Model 325 (Bi-Fold Hatch)
Model 325 shown
The Model 320/325 Companionway Door is elegant in design
yet rugged and durable. It is an ideal entry door for expressstyle boats or cockpit engine room doors for larger yachts. Its
all aluminum construction and stainless steel hardware are
suitable for the marine environment where a solid weathertight
door is required. The front door can be left or right-handed, with
various window options. The pop-up hatch may be either single
panel or bi-fold. An optional interior clamp ring can be used
for easy installation into any bulkhead. The double seal design
keeps the door weathertight in all but the harshest conditions.
Several window and finish options are available.
DOOR SIZE
FEATURES
The 1 5/16” thick door is a sandwich construction of aluminum doorskins
which are bonded to heavy rectangular stiles with methacrylate adhesive.
The internal cavities are filled with Divinycell polymer core to provide
exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation. The resulting door is
lightweight and very rigid. The window glass is bonded to the doorskins
with structural silicone.
OPTIONS
Widths may vary from 20” to 48” and front heights
from 30” to 60”. The hatch depth may be 16” to 40”.
The design will accommodate a frame angle between
the vertical bulkhead and top deck surface of 88 to 96
degrees.
HATCH COVERS
The single panel or bi-fold hatch panels are lifted and
held aloft with dual stainless steel air-springs. A single
panel hatch is recommended for short depths and bifold panels for depths in excess of 30”. Bi-fold hatches
are dogged on both sides to prevent lifting prior to
folding.
WINDOWS
Windows in various sizes and shapes may be installed
into the front door and/or the hatch panels. The 1/4”
tempered glass is available in a green, bronze, gray or
dark gray tint.
The heavy hollow door frame design helps prevent distortion during
installation, and serves to channel any water entering alongside the upper
hatch panels or via the latch holes to the drain slots at the bottom. The fully
welded frame thus minimizes water intrusion into the cabin.
The primary door seal is a foam rubber D-seal which forms a continuous
ring around the inside of the door frame. A secondary tubular anti-splash
seal surrounds the exterior perimeter of the door to deflect water during
washdown.
Installation
An optional interior clamp ring
makes installation simple by
clamping the bulkhead between
itself and the door frame. No
shimming is required. And,
there are no visible fasteners
on the exterior surfaces of the
frame. Bulkheads of 1/2 “ to 1
1/2” are suitable for clamping.
LATCH & LOCKSET
A TrioVing Mod. 5336/8 latch is mounted in the front door, and glass-filled
nylon dogs securely lock the hatch to the door. The stainless steel lockset is
keyed outside with a knob inside.
HINGES
Four 3” x 1.5” x .090” inch butt hinges and a 1.5” x .070” piano hinge (for
the bi-fold hatch) are provided. All hinges are polished stainless steel.
FINISH
Awlgrip or Imron polyurethane paint. Many color options are available.

Hinged Entry Door
Model 350 (Single Panel) - Model 355 (Dutch) - Model 360 (French)
The Model 350 hinged entry door is elegant in design yet rugged and durable. It is ideal
for use on finer yachts as well as commercial vessels. Its all aluminum construction and
stainless steel lockset are suitable for the marine environment where a solid weathertight
door is required. The door is provided with either mitered or radiused corners, and is
available in either a single panel, Dutch, or French door configuration. Several hinge,
lockset and finish options are available.
This rugged 1 5/16” thick door is a sandwich construction of aluminum doorskins bonded
to heavy stiles with structural adhesive. The interior spaces are filled with a polymer
core. The hollow door frame design is not easily distorted during installation and serves
to capture and drain any water entering via the latch holes out through weep holes at
the base.
SEALS
Interior View with Clamp Ring
The primary door seal is a foamed rubber
D-seal which forms a continuous ring around
the inside of the door frame. A secondary
tubular anti-splash seal surrounds the exterior
perimeter of the door to deflect water in heavy
seas and during washdown. This double seal
design keeps the door weathertight in all but
the harshest conditions.

HINGES
DOOR LATCH
This door may be hung with a continuous polished stainless steel
hinge, a continuous aluminum painted hinge, or from polished
stainless steel but hinges.
The standard lockset is a TrioVing Mod. 5316/8. An FR&C
Mod. 203 fully stainless steel lockset is available as an
option. Both locksets have cylinders which are keyed on
the outside and have either a rotary knob or are keyed on
the inside.

Sliding Entry Door
Model 450
Model 450/460 Sliding Door
The Model 450/460 sliding door provides a weathertight
closure that is ideal for use on a wide range of vessel types.
The rugged yet elegant design is of all aluminum construction
and utilizes stainless steel hardware that is suitable for
the marine environment. The doors are top-hung from an
overhead track which is hidden beneath a removable cover.
This design allows for long-term trouble-free sliding as very
little dirt and debris accummulates on the overhead track.
Furthermore, the top-hung design greatly reduces the floor
clutter associated with bottom-hung doors.
The door (or active panel on a bi-slider) can be left- or
right-handed. An optional interior clamp-ring can be used
for easy installation into almost any bulkhead. Several
window configuration, frame finish, and glass tint options
are available.
PANEL
The Model 450 sliding door is a natural extension of
the Model 350 hinged entry door. Sliding doors are
ideal for applications in which there is insufficient
space to accommodate a hinged door.
The door panels are a sandwich construction in which
aluminum doorskins are bonded to heavy rectangular stiles
using structural adhesive. The internal cavities are filled with
Divinycell polymer core to provide exceptional thermal and
acoustic insulation. The resulting door is lightweight and
very rigid.
SEALS
DOOR LATCH
Single panel sliding doors are made weathertight by
controlling the gaps along each vertical edge and
across the top and bottom of the door. The leading
edge of the door closes into a pocket in the jamb. This
pocket is fitted with bulb and pile seals to reduce water
and air intrusion.
The trailing edge of each door has a wedge-lock that
interconnects with another wedge-lock on the adjacent
jamb. The overlapping wedges virtually eliminate any
gap between the door panel and jamb.
The top of the door lies under an overhanging track
cover, protecting that area of the door. The door sill
uses pile weather-strip to reduce water intrusion under
the door panel.
The standard lockset is a TrioVing Mod.
5382/8. A Mobella Mod. MM-99-17,
with grab handle, is available as an
option. The TrioVing is keyed outside
and either a knob or key on the inside.
CUSTOM SIZES
Custom panel sizes up to 40”
in width and 85” in height are
available.

Bi-Sliding Entry Door
Model 460
JAMB
The heavy hollow door frame design helps prevent
distortion during installation, and serves to channel any
water entering the latch holes to the drain slots at the
bottom. The fully welded frame thus minimizes water
intrusion into the boat.
WINDOW
The window glass is bonded to the exterior doorskin
with structural silicone adhesive. The window trim is
then bonded to the inside of the glass. Many sizes and
shapes are available.
ROLLERS & GUIDE
The doors are pre-hung using delrin wheels with adjustable
stainless steel hubs that provide a smooth, non-corrosive
operating mechanism. The overhead track area is hidden
by a cover that can be removed during installation or door
adjustment. A delrin torpedo guide at the bottom ensures
proper alignment of the panels.
CLAMP-RING
The Model 460 dual panel sliding door is a further
extension of the sliding door family. This style door is
typically used in applications requiring an unusually large
entry opening, or where limited space is available for the
overhead track extension. The dual panels adjoin at the
centerline of the door frame, and slide fully to the edges
of the door opening for maximum passage. The panels
are linked together with a stainless steel cable so that
they slide open and closed in unison. This linked design
eliminates the need for door stops because the doors
counterbalance one another, thereby holding each panel
in position while underway. A full width torpedo guide at
the bottom keeps the two panels aligned during closure.
the doors latch together and utilize a double bulb seal.
The trailing edge of each panel has a wedge-lock that
interconnects with another wedge-lock on the adjacent
jamb. The overlapping wedges virtually eliminate any gap
between the door panel and jamb. The top of the doors lie
under an overhanging track cover, protecting that area of
the door. The door sill uses pile weather-strip to reduce
water intrusion under the door panel.

the top and bottom of the door. The joined edges of

Mobella lockset with grab handle
An optional interior clamp-ring makes installation simple
by clamping the bulkhead between itself and the door
frame. No shimming is required. And, there are no visible
fasteneres on the exterior surfaces of the frame. Bulkhead
thicknesses of 1/2” to 1 1/2” are suitable for clamping.
The flush mounted lockset is a
Mobella Model MM-99-17. A sliding
finger latch is mounted behind the
grab handle for easy action as the
door is pulled aside. A keyed lock is
provided outside coupled to a sliding
thumb latch inside.

Bi-Fold and Panel SHOWER DOORS
American Marine shower doors provide a touch
of beauty to the shower enclosure. Fabricated of
aluminum frames finished in polyurethane paint,
and fitted with ½” clear acrylic panels, these doors
will make the head look larger and brighter. And the
thick polished edge panels impart a quality feel to the
installation.
Convenient towel rack
serves as door handle
The doors are available in either bi-fold or solid panel
styles. The bi-fold style is especially practical in small
enclosures where maneuvering room is limited. And
the solid panel style has a very simple and elegant
design which will strongly complement the aesthetics
of the surroundings. Both doors include a towel rack
which serves as a grip for opening and closing the
door.
The bi-fold door is designed to snap to a positive closed
position. In the open position, a flip lock on the floor
pan holds the door open and prevents movement and
rattling while underway. The solid panel door is held
closed with an internal spring latch, and auxiliary
catches can be employed to hold the door in an open
position. Both doors are provided with a deep drain pan
which captures the water and returns it to the enclosure
through large scuppers.

CUSTOM DOORS
Standard doors are designed to fit a 20” wide by 66” tall opening.
However, custom doors can be provided to fit slightly narrower,
wider, shorter or taller openings. In addition, the side frames may
be extended up and over the top of the opening to trim out an
otherwise unfinished bulkhead. It is recommended that at least
a 3” air gap be allowed above the door to aid air circulation and
help prevent steaming in the enclosure.
The door frames can be painted in any color to match an interior
color scheme or gelcoat. Although the standard door has clear
acrylic panels, custom door panels can be provided in a variety
of translucent, frosted and opaque colors. Where the designer is
forced into extraordinary design constraints, curved panels may
be available. However, there are significant limitations in the
use of curved panels. You are encouraged to discuss your needs
with our personnel.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
Panel Door
The doors are fitted with side frames which allow for a
number of mounting options. The possibilities include
mounting edge-on to a 3/4” bulkhead, mounting edgeon to a thicker bulkhead, or mounting perpendicular
to a flat bulkhead. In addition, any mounting option
can be chosen independently for the left and righthand sides of the door.

Available Finishes Windshield and window frames can be provided in a variety of finishes. The finishes available include clear anodize,
polyurethane paint, or polyester powder coat paint. The powder coat finish provides a hard, durable surface in a semigloss texture. Powder coating is available in black or white only. Surface damage may be difficult to repair.
Polyurethane paints, such as AwlgripTM or ImronTM, provide chemical resistance and a high gloss surface finish. Most are
field repairable and touch-ups can be buffed smooth and blended-in with the original coating. Any color on the standard
color charts may be selected. Polyurethane paints are to be used above the waterline only, and cannot be continuously
in contact with wet coverings or continuously immersed in water.
A clear anodize finish provides the longest-lived finish. This electro-chemical conversion of the aluminum surface provides
a finish that strongly resists corrosion and allows the aluminum frames to remain bright.

Glass Tint Choices Safety glass and acrylic plastic are available in various color tints which are helpful in reducing eye strain from solar
reflection off the water. These tints are embedded in the glass or acrylic itself, and are not applied as surface films. Tints
reduce both the amount of visible light and the ultra-violet rays which penetrate through the windows. Blocking some
of the visible and UV light can help prevent interior surface damage and heat build-up, but it also reduces night vision.
The American Boat and Yacht Council recommends that tints should not reduce visible light transmittance to less than
70% through windows which are used for piloting. However, for windows not used for piloting or navigation, low light
transmission can be very desirable. Always consider the safety ramification when selecting a tint.

CUSTOM FABRICATION
American Marine’s primary business is the design and manufacture of windows
and windshields for production boat builders. However, a part of our capacity
is devoted to custom window and windshield fabrication for the smaller
builder, the repair yard, or the individual boat owner. Our custom fabrication
service yields the same high quality products as those we manufacture in
production quantities.
PRICING
With relatively little information from you, we can estimate the cost to fabricate custom
windows, windshields or doors to your specifications. To obtain a price estimate, you should
provide information as to the type of window, windshield or door, its shape and dimensions, the
finish and glass tint desired. Options such as screens and trim rings should also be indicated.
You can use pages 6, 13 and 22 of this publication as a guide and checklist. If you have
questions regarding the specifying of your desired product, please call us for assistance.
Final pricing is subject to review of your submitted templates, drawings, or other specifications.
When all of the required information is received, we will confirm the price and delivery
of your custom product. Prices include cartoning for shipment unless indicated otherwise.
Crating is often required to protect large units during shipment. There is an additional charge
for crating.
TEMPLATES, DRAWINGS, and SPECIFICATIONS
To assure properly fitting custom windows and doors, it is very important that you provide
adequate size and shape information. We suggest that a template of plywood, masonite, door
skin, or heavy paper be made to fit inside the window or door opening, or to indicate the
overall perimeter. Label all templates with your name, the window or door type, the position
on the boat, the orientation (top, bottom, forward, aft, left or right hinged, etc.), whether
cut-out or overall size, location of any mullions, vents, sliding elements, glass type, finish,
etc. In lieu of a template, an accurately dimensioned and labeled drawing can provide the
necessary information.
Windshields require more detailed measurements, as these are three-dimensional products.
Not all windshield styles are appropriate for welded construction. Curved windshields require
detailed templates and deck landing area measurements. In most cases expensive bending
dies are required to achieve the required curves. The resulting cost is normally prohibitive
for single custom windshield orders. For conventional windshields (flat panels) you may
request a Windshield Measurement Worksheet that will aid you in taking the measurements
needed to specify your windshield.
PAYMENT AND DELIVERY
All custom fabricated orders require a 50% deposit at the time of order. Final payment can
be arranged prior to shipment or will be collected on delivery (COD). Unless you specify
otherwise, we will arrange to ship your product the best way, considering the overall size and
weight of the order. Cartoning and crating are required to adequately protect most orders.
Shipment is FOB our factory, and you pay all freight and COD charges. Motor freight
shipments require a commercial shipping address.
